Leanne confides in Steph that she's going to break the news to the father of her baby. Leanne hugs Simon and assures him she'll love him just as much as her new child. Leanne heads to The Rovers, but realising her news would be best delivered without an audience, she phones the daddy and summons him outside...

With the party in full swing, Sally enjoys playing hostess. Ken, Norris and Freddie tuck into the canapés while Craig waits on. When Martin the Mayor arrives with his partner Terence, Sally is put out to see they've brought their dog with them.
In contrast, Yasmeen's soiree is a scant affair with few guests and the thumping music from next door only highlighting the downbeat mood. As Sally lights the sparklers on her croquembouche, angry Yasmeen barges her way in, demanding they turn their music down. To Sally's horror, the Mayor's dog escapes through the open front door.

As Leanne confronts the unsuspecting dad, he is shellshocked at the news. The row escalates when he rounds on her, calling her irresponsible.

Meanwhile, Sally's party guests search in vain for the Mayor's dog. Sally blames Yasmeen, pointing out that if she hadn't barged her way in, the dog wouldn't be missing. Sally lambasts Yasmeen, telling her that if they don't find the Mayor's dog, she'll be a laughing stock at the Town Hall and it'll be the end of her career.
Feeling desperate, Sally opens up to Yasmeen and explains how she came from a rough background and has only ever wanted to better herself. Yasmeen softens towards her and suggests they're two of a kind. Sally and Yasmeen return to Number 4 firm friends. They're taken aback to find Sharif, Tim, Martin, Terence and their dog watching a DVD.
